The Rocky ATV Club rides and looks after trails south of the Brazeau River, north of Sundre, and east of the Forestry Trunk Road in Clearwater County. Our goal is to protect this spectacular region by developing sustainable and maintainable trails with minimal impact to the land and water. This will allow riders to use this area for years to come.
Who We Are
Message from the President
It has been great to make connections with friends through our OHV club and other clubs. This is one of the best reasons to join a club. Not only are you helping to build and maintain trails but there are so many other benefits.
Trail Stewardship, creating maps for new to the area folk, meeting folks who ride the trails like you do, provide for group rides so people can learn the sport from experts, camping weekend trips to new sites, group rides to other areas, and building a voice to protect our trails with the government and industry. We welcome new members all the time. If you ride in Clearwater join us, in the McLean Creek join CARA. Wherever you ride join the clubs and support our passion.

Maps
Members share maps with each other. Contact us on Messenger to share maps or to receive a specific map.
Android users generally use Geotracker to record their trips. iPhone users use Avenza. Both apps can share gpx files. It is simple to drop a pin and add notes to help with navigation or to take note of areas for repair.
GPX files can also be uploaded to the Backroads Map app. It will track routes but needs to be downloaded if your ride is not within signal range.
